Steps

1. In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens, romaine and watercress with half of the salad dressing. Portion out onto individual plates or large bowls.
2. Arrange the turkey, eggs, tomatoes and avocadoes in an attractive manner on top of the greens. Sprinkle each salad with some of the bacon and blue cheese. Drizzle each salad with some of the remaining dressing and serve.

Notes

The Cobb salad was invented, as are so many great dishes, out of necessity. In 1937, Bob Cobb, owner of Hollywood’s Brown Derby restaurant, needed to make something different for a hungry Sid Grauman of Chinese theater fame. He raided the restaurant’s refrigerator, chopped up the ingredients and served them as a salad. Grauman loved it and continued to order a "Cobb salad" every time he ate at the restaurant. Word of the creation spread quickly and a salad was born.
